Apple & Samsung: $2,000 and I'm Still Dating Idiots?
I bought a $2,000 folding phone. It arrives December 23rd. I'll be in my Christmas PJs, holding vigil by the mailbox. (Yep, a moment of silence for my 12 Pro Max). So, Merry Christmas to me.

Red Flags & Red Cards
Yes, this is about dating. Stay with me. Every four years, the world loses its mind over the World Cup. I know about as much about soccer as I know about rebuilding a transmission. . Disclosure and Explanation: But watching the World Cup last night USA vs Paraguay? Wow. The energy was contagious. The crowd was electric. The patriotism was off the charts. \After five minutes, even I was yelling at the television like I'd been following soccer my entire life. We won. 4-1. A
